The words “wild boar” may conjure images of Vikings with horned helmets roasting captured game over a bed of coals, but today wild boar meat has acquired a more sophisticated quality. Technology and globalization have both contributed to elevating this meat to a refined level in the culinary arts. In addition to this, however, there are some agricultural places where the wild boar population is considered a serious threat. This has urged people to increase consumption of wild boar meat, and this has encouraged cooks to come up with new recipes for this rich yet wonderfully lean meat.
